Nasdaq has announced that Lumentum Holdings Inc. (LITE) will join the Nasdaq-100 Index, effective prior to the market open on Monday, May 18, 2026, replacing CoStar Group, Inc. (CSGP). The removal comes as CSGP trades at a high P/E ratio of 546.17x, suggesting a potential overvaluation despite its operational strengths. However, recent insider buying activity within CoStar Group has been noted, reflecting internal confidence in the company's long-term trajectory despite its exit from the benchmark. Analysts expect the inclusion of LITE to drive significant buying pressure from passive index-tracking funds. Investors are now weighing CoStar's high valuation metrics against the positive signal sent by insider transactions. These adjustments are part of Nasdaq's periodic rebalancing to ensure adherence to index methodology standards.
